Notes for Francis Goodwin:
      Francis Goodwin was born in Londonderry, Derry County, Ireland in 1761. (West Virginians in the Revolution). In many places the date is given as 1760 and I have a page which says that records at the Taylor County Courthouse say he was born in 1760.
Francis did marry twice according to the sources I have.
In Marilyn Greenleaf's book, "The West Virginia Currey/Curry Connections," she says that our ancestor, John W. Goodwin, was the son of Francis and Lydia Goodwin. I have that Lydia died 20 Dec 1820.
Francis married Nancy Asbury on 6 Dec 1821. You will find them in the 1850 Census with Francis as 90 yrs old and Nancy as 58 years old.
